BOSTON, March 26, 1164. —Gentlemen: I have the
honor to acknowledge the receipt of your favor of
the 21st inst. , inviting me to visit Philadelphia and
address a public meeting of its citizens. The terms
in 'which you express yourselves of my services in.
- the cause of "impartial and universal liberty,"
albeit quite above my merits, are nevertheless
.(comnig from such a source), truly grateful to my
feelings. For though I recognize among the sig
natures to your letter the names of but few with
- whom I am personally acquainted-, I do not fail to
observe those of others whom I know to be held in
high esteem by the best people of the land, and
whom inconsequence I have myself been long ac
customed to regard with respect and honor.
The estimate which in your kindness you put
upon my labors in behalf of this country, were it
predicated upon. my intentions only, I should say
does no more than justice. I have ever been an
admirer of America; American people and-Ameri
can institutions have had for many years my best
affections and warmest approval. The language
of my heart has often been—" Would to God that
my own country were as 'America, except these
'bonds." And to break these bonds, you will bear
me witness, no effort of mine has been wanting.
For America's sake as well as for humanity's,
have I, under much reproach, ever labored to
this end. Thar.k God the day of deliverance
'which we have all sighed for, has at length
dawned upon your country! In the added honors
which are already clustering around your nation's
name, I have a pleasure not exceeded by that of
the most loyal of your citizens.
It will afford me great pleasure,_ gentlemen, to
'comply-with your invitation. I shall be in Phila
delphia on Monday, the 9th of April, on my way
t o Washington, and if it should snit your conve
nience to appoint the proposed meeting for that
-evening, I shall be happy to attend and address it.
I have the honor to be, gentlemen,
Yours, with great respect,

FUND. —At a meeting of the citizens of the
FIFTEENTH WARD, held on ,Thursday, 31st
ult., it was _ .
Resolved, That the Executive Committee be au
thorized to give to each contributor to the new
(Bounty) fund of Ten Thousand - Dollars a certifi

in cat,e of a failure to procure the number of men
requisite to free the Ward from draft, the balance
of the fund remaining on hand shall be divided
pro rata among the contributors who may be
drafted, in proportion to the sum paid in by each.
Immediate calms will now evidently either enable
the Committee to procure the men, or, failing in
this, will secure to each drafted - contributor at least
the amount of his subscription and perhaps much
more.
A meeting of the Committee and Collectors will
be held on SATURDAY EVENING., 2d inst ,and
every evening thereafter until further notice. at
the School House, TWENTIETH and COATES,

[Correspondence of the N. Y. Tribune.)
HEADQUARTERS DIST. FLORIDA, March l 3 net.
—Some of the few and true men of the Union
cause, which we bound In this place and vicinity,
gave us information on our arrival that a number
of steamboats might be found on the head- wa•ers
of the St John' s, or in its lakes and tributaries.
The Sumter, Hattie Brock, Reliance, and Silver
Springs were considered the most vainab'e As
soon its Col. Barton had fortified his position at
Pilatka, and felt fully able to take care of himself
and hold the place, some enterprising officers and
marines from the navy yard resolved to make a
cruise up the river in search of these meats.
The expedition was ROnsidered full of danger, as
it must necessarily be small, and go from all as
sistance into the enemy's country. Acting Mas
ter Champion and First Mate F. W. Sanborn and
LI marites, volunteered to, undertake the perilous
cruise. The Columbine; a steam tug, mounting
on her prow one 6-pounder, and a launch from the
Pawnee, comprised the fleet. On the morning of
the 7th Master Champion left Pilatka, _with the
good wishes and benediction of Bistori , s army
re sting upon him. The next day he en
tered Lake George, and,after a short Eeareh,fouud
the Sumter, a small stern-wheel transport. It
Was made especially for the carrying tr.ute on the
St. Johns, and its tributaries. It is of very light
draught, and can ascend far up these small
streams into the interior, and before the war, did a
very profitable business. With his prize he re
turned to Pilatka and Cast anchor amid the welcom
ing hurrah of the army. '1 he Sumter contained a
small cargo of cotton, rosin and turpentine. •
A second expedition was immediately planned,
and was ready to leave Pilatka in the evening . of
the 12th. A prize crew from the launch was put
on board the Sumter, and she was immediately
put into service. As before, the Columbine led
the way. Only three days' rations were taken,
and when five had passed, we, hearir ' e nothing
from them, became a little concerned for their.
safety. But we knew Mr. Champion to be au ear
nest leader, and that he was safe if nothing bad
befallen him of greater moment than a loss of ra
tions. After a litt.e cruising about in Lake George,
he moved up the river, ezpioring every tributary,
bay and secluded spoted that rigged and crooked
stream, till Yilatka was left some 60 milei In his
rear. Be resolves to risk still further, and on he
goes up into Lake Busford, but finds nothing.
Lake Jesup is but a few miles further on, and he
pushes farther up into that. with the same result.
He determines to see Lake Barney, 130 miles from.
Pilatka before returning.
It was on this broad and beautiful sheet of water
that perseverance was crowned with success. The
Hattie. as she was fondly and familiarly called,
was found tied up in an out of-the-way place and
left to her fate. Our men, without opposition,
took possession, towed her into a place of safely,
and made some hasty examinations. She had on
board 100 bales of cotton, a quantity of turpentine,
a lot of rosin and a copper boiler for a turpentine
distillery. It was 1 . 0114 that the side valves of
her engine had been reitioved, but wooden ones
were coon extemporized, and in four hours steam
was up and the enlarged fleet moved down the
liver.
The hold of the Hattie Brock can contain SOO
bales of cotton. She has cabins to accommodate
from 75 to lee passengers, an excellent double en
gine, nearly new, and cost about slo,ooo. She
was the best boat ever built expressly for the St.
John's trade.
On the way down, in passing Fort Gates (an old
earthwork built during the war with the Semi.
noles,). a volley of musketry was tired Into the
boats but without effect. The Columbine's lens
gun, projecting over her prow, pnt the guerilla's
to flight, and they were seen no more.
The most exquisitely painful part of the down.
ward trip occurred at Enterprise—a small town on
Lake Monroe. As the fleetmoved up.to the land
ing, near where the "Brood House" stands, the
veritable Miss Hattie, after whom the boat, as is
the wont throughout the chivalrous South, was
named, made her appearance on the verandah,
overwhelmed with astonishment, indignation and
grief. as bhe saw that her namesake, the pride of
her life, had fallen into the hands of the 'Yankees.
The little black. eyed belle seemed like an angel
angry. She was eloquent in her grief, and our
marines, poor fellows, were glad to get away as
soon as they had supplied their boats with fuel.
No mishaps occurred, and on the 20th the expedi
tion, without lose, arrived at. Pilatka, and on the
2.3 d were in Jacksonville. The whole affair is re
garded as one of the most daring and brilliant ex
ploits of the war. As the pnzes were taken by
volunteer marines, it is thought that the prize
money (about $100,000) will be divided between
them—the 14 men, two of them officers.
During the cruise it was learned' that the Silver
Springs is far up the Oclawaha, in a large basin
like spring of the same name. The Reliance, and
still another boat, are in the St. John's, higher
up somewhere, and these marines having got a
taste of adventure and prizes, will not rest till
both are found and captured.
On the evening of the 22d inst.,- a little after
dark, an attack was made upon Pilatka by the
enemy in small force. The firing lasted about an
hour and was very brisk on our part. The gun.
boats took part in the melee, and theirbursting shell
fell quite freely among the enemy. "It is thought
the enemy was simply feeling_ our lines to test.
their strength and our readiness for a general
engagement. As he left a few dead and wounded
behind it is presumed he retired satisfied. There
were no casualties on our side.
Gen. Seymour has issued an order, No. 15, for
the conscription of all able-bodied colored men in
his district, embracing Fernandina, St. Augus
tine, Jacksonville, Pilatka, and all intermediate
places.
The Hilton Head correspondent of the Herald,
under date of 27th ult.writes as follows :
The rebels are becoming quite active about our
outposts. On Sunday last they made an attack on
our pickets near Jenkins' Island, but were re
pulsed at every point by the. 76th Pennsylvania
regiment, Col. Campbell, doing duty at that point.
The rebels approached in eight large flat-boats,.
and came in force, evidently with a view of cut:
ting off our pickets. In this they were foiled, and
went back considerably cut up.
The Chippewa afterwards gave them a taste of
her metal, and iullicted heavy loss upon them.
Another attempt to gain a foot-hold on the island
the following night was baffled by Capt. Knees'
company of the 76th, who fired several deadly
volleys into the boats, and drove them off. No
casualties occurred on our side in either attack.
Miss Dia arrived at Hilton Head in the Fulton.
She is the guest of Dr. Clymer and is to make a
tour of all the hospitals iransiispartment.

The varying currents where she Sank have fixed
her there forever. The Keokuk, which went down
on the morning of the Bth of April last, is also on
the bottom, and will - probably never be brought
up.—Palmetto Hoed. 14th.
The Purser of the Fulton makes the following
report:
On Tuesday night. 4tb, at nine o'clock, (;are
Henry bearing about southwest, sixty-five miles
distant, in a heavy gale from east southeast. which
veered to northeast, the night being very dark and
the sea running very high, fell in with a large
two. n asted propeller, firing guns and making sig.
dale of distress, which were answered by sending
up rockets and bluelights, and steamed for her,
the Fulton being at that time under one engine,
having disabled the after air pump the day previ
ous. ana was going very slow in consequence.
After several attempts succeeded in communicat
ing with the stranger, who reported having her
engines broken down, and wished the Fulton to
bay by her clurilig the night, and tow her into
port. The Wind at the time was so -vio
lent, it was impossible to understand
feather. Kept her in sight until two A.
M. of the 30th, when, the Fulton tieing very
light, having no cargo and but little coal, and
13 ing on her stathuard side, a arge amount of
eater ace , mnlated in her lee bilge and engine
room, requiring the whole force of the donkey
pump and bilge injections to clear her. Was com
pelled by necessity to go. aheed with all power
and bring the ships head to the wind and sea to
relieve b-r from the water in her, which took until
five A M. to do. when tbe Fulton was steered to
the southwest in search of the distressed vessel.
At seven A. M., having run back the distance,
could not see anything of her. The weather being
thick, and still blowing a gale, and taking into
consideration the condition of the ship—being short
of coal and very crank—was reluctantly obliged to
proceed on our course, which was done at eight
A. M.

that thoroughfare. There are two apartme its,
one for gentlemen and the other for ladies, each
being 30 feet in length by is in width. At the
upper end of the ladies' room is a small dressing
room, and east of the gentleman's apartment is the
baggage room. The waiting rooms are handsomely
flitted up and comfortably furnished. Between
the two is a cozy little place which is occupied by
Col. John B. Peddle, the General Ticket Agent.

formerly occupied by the gentlemen. The offices

ventilation are now plenty. But one platform is

mistakes. The Germantown trains are on the
right track and those tor Norristown upon the left.

MILLINERY OPRNlNG.—Yesterday the popular
old house of 'Wood .Y.Cary,No.72s Chestnut street,
held their annual opening of fashipnable Bonnets,
and notwithstanding the somewhat unfavorable
state of the weather, their spacious salesrooms
presented a perfect crowd of beauty and-crinoline
during several hours in the day. The various new
styles of bonnets exhibited, which were tastefully
arranged on ornamented stands, unstituted a
beautiful picture, and the admiration lavished
upon the numerous "gems" must have been
highly gratifying to the proprietors. The most
prevalent colors of bonnets and trimmings, this
season, are found in the different shades of the cuir
Or tau. The form if bonnet& this season is a de
cided alteration from, and we think, an Improve.
ment upon that of last. They are more flattened at
the top and closer at the sides, and on the whole,
smaller. Among the specimen bonnets which
attracted the most attentioa in tee .•onerlleg," we
may mention their cuir-colored straw - , Cactus or
seagrass hood and bag-crowned skirred bonnets
for traveling purposes, fine English straw, white
crapes, quilted in diamonds, and exquisite walk
ing hats, in every variety. The trimmings of the
bonnets that we examined strike us as the 13103 t
tasteful and beautifal that millinery genius has yet
produced for the adornment of the sex.

CARD.—WARBURTON'S HATs.—The new
shapes for Spring wear are now ready. Gen
tlemen are respectfully invited to call and examine
them. It is believed that the styles now being of
fered will prove very pleasing. The brims are
made narrower than heretofore, conforming
in this respect to the best fashions
of London and Paris, and in com
pliance with the expressed wish of many
who give attention to matters of dress in this city
as well as in New York. Broader brims will be
kept In stock, or made to order for those who desire
them.
The prices of silk, as well as felt hats, Dave
necessarily advanced. Nearly every article en
tering into their construction being either prepared
OT produced abroad, can - consequently be bought
oniy with gold or its equivalent. Such is the en
hanced cost of material and labor that the very
lowest grade of silk hat (when made of new stock)
cannot be retailed for less than five dollars. Every
endeavor has been made to maintain the quality,
and to keep near to the prices of the times pre
ceding the rebellion.
Present prices forfine dress hats are now 56. and
$7. For blocking or refinishing hats an increase of
price is also made necessary.

SIMMONS, TIIE -11,LU8IONIST.—The announce
ment of the first appearance of this king of de=

there is no doubt that he will receive a warm
greeting on Monday evening next. Those who go
to see the tricks of other conjurors repeated will be
disappointed, for all be does is novel and entirely
different from the feats of those who have appeared
in his peculiar branch of art. Travelers have re
lated the most marvelous•things of the 'magicians
of China and Japan. some of which hate been
sufficient to startle the credulity of the most. credu
ions; but we are assuredlthat Professor. Simmons.
during his residence in those countries, possessed.
himself of the secret of their most marvelous feats
and will perform them during his seances in Phi

the charlatanry of Home, the professed spiritual
ist, created a great excitement, and the spiritual
ists held a council in which they declared that he
(Simmons) produced the Blood. SedWriting on the
Arm and performed his most miraculous tours by
spiritual agency, but that he dishonestly die-,
claimed the true source of his power. Of course
we cannot decide the question, but on Monday

judging for themselves.
